Correct Answer: One of his books were
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
There is an error in the segment " one of his books were " of the sentence.
The phrase "one of his books" is the subject of the sentence and is followed by a singular verb. So, it should be "one of his books was" instead of "one of his books were" to maintain the proper subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "One of his books was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in the year 1992."
